Tender Love and Care for your Lawn

Tender Love and Care for your Lawn

Here are some simple things to remember:

1. Keep off the lawn in the early spring until the ground has dried out, and firmed up enough to walk on.

2. Rake up leaves and other debris, as rotting vegetation can transfer leaf mold to your lawn. This can cause unsitely dead patches.

3. As our soil on the wet coast is pretty acidic, apply ime in early spring to neutralize some of that acid. Grass is not partial to acidic soil, so your lawn with love a bit of lime!

4. Aeration is recommended, and should be done every other year or so. More often in high traffic areas as soil compaction squeezes out air pockets and suffacates the root systems. Aerating allows oxygen to get to the roots and will reinvigorate a tired lawn. Remember, roots need air too!

So hop to it and give your lawn the tender love and care it needs to thrive!
